And even though I agree with your basic premise I think you tend to neglect at least one major thing. It is easier to photograph people who are smoking! Because of our social norms they typically have to go outside for a smoking break and often times socialize during that time. People who do not have to smoke don't have to go outside periodically, thus they may be harder to find and photograph. I am not condoning smoking. In fact, I have never taken up smoking myself. But I do think that it easier when doing street fashion shots to find people who are smoking than not. .-= Biascuts´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/biascuts/~3/ErYdor8T0DY/" rel="nofollow">Style and Feminism</a> =-.

Smoking is set to kill 6.5 million people in 2015 and 8.3 million humans in 2030, with the biggest rise in low-and middle-income countries. Its a fact that from the beginning teenagers are not trained in the hard way to restrain from smooking and in the bad company they get addicted of it and from this point many criminal things happen in the future So i Appreciate your feeling and work you have done I am looking forward for more informative posts here cheers Around 5.4 million deaths a year are caused by tobacco.

It's the individual, who takes away from the picture that smoking is glamorous. The Sartorialist is taking pictures of street fashion in between fashion shows. This just happens to be the time when people smoke. As a photographer, it's not his responsibility to make sure that his subjects put out the cigarette for fear that some kid will start smoking. He's trying to capture the moment and the fabulous fashion and style. People need to learn to see different things good and bad and use their own common sense to decide on what to do and what not to do. If a teenage girl is going to smoke, she's going to smoke. Parents need to step up and take more responsibility in teaching their kids how to make smart decisions and take responsibility for their own actions. Bloggers, too, have freedom of speech. It's not their responsibility to raise other peoples young. Although, I agree that smoking is bad for one’s health, the photographer is not glamorizing the cigarette.
